SUTTON, LINCOLNSHIRE.—At the request of the crew, the boat on this station has been replaced by a new self-righting Life- boat, 30 feet long, 8 feet wide, and rowing 8 oars double-banked. A new transport- ing-carriage was sent with the boat. The cost of the new boat and equipment was defrayed by a private subscription zeal- ously extending over several years, and collected by N. E., at whose wish it is named the Caroline. It was taken afloat on reaching its station, and gave every satisfaction to the crew.

ABERYSTWITH.—The NATIONAL LIFE- BOAT INSTITUTION forwarded a Life-boat to this station in May 1876, to take the place of the boat there, which was be- coming unfit for further service. The boat, for which a .transporting-carriage was provided, is 33 feet long, 8 feet 2 inches wide, and rows 10 oars double- banked. It had become necessary to erect a new Life-boat house, and, accordingly, a substantial and attractive building has been constructed, from the designs of the Honorary Architect of the Institution, on a convenient site liberally granted by the Town Council. The expense of this Life- boat and equipment was partially de- frayed from a legacy bequeathed to the Institution by the late Lady HABERFIELD, of Clifton, and the boat is named after her Ladyship. Since it was placed on its station it has on two occasions been instrumental, during stormy weather, in saving shipwrecked crews.

EYEMOUTH, N.B.—A Life-boat Station has been formed at this place by the NA- TIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION, principally for the protection of the fishermen, who are frequently overtaken by sudden storms before they are able to reach the shelter of the River Eye. The men were very anxious to have the boat, and voluntarily made a liberal subscription on behalf of the Life-boat Fund. The first expense of this station was, however, met by a legacy to the Institution by the late THOMAS GBINDLAT, Esq., of Edinburgh ; and the Life-boat, which is a 30-feet 8-oared one, is named the James and Rachel Grindlay. A substantial and com- modious house for the boat and carriage has been erected on the only available site, which is situated on the east side of the Pier, on ground belonging to the Local Harbour Board; a launching slipway had also to be constructed there for the use of the boat. The public presentation and launch of the Life-boat at its station took place on the 10th October, 1876, under the superintendence of the Assistant-Inspector of Life-boats. The boat, mounted on its transporting-carriage, was drawn in pro- cession from Burnmouth Railway Station by six horses, accompanied by the fisher- men of Eyemouth, the 1st Berwickshire Artillery Volunteers, members of the'Life- boat' Lodge of GoodTemplars.OddFellows, Freemasons, &c. After passing through ' the principal thoroughfares the procession j made its way to the beach, where large crowds of people had assembled. Mrs.

GRINDLAY then said she was proud to have the honour of handing over to the Insti- tution the Life-boat, and she hoped it would prove a blessing to the coast. She afterwards performed the ceremony of naming the boat, which, after having been launched, was put through the usual evo- lutions, and was upset by the side of a large decked fishing-boat, moored at a distance from the shore, in order to demonstrate the powers of self-righting, self-ejecting water, &c. Since that period this Life-boat has rendered noble service to a number of distressed fishing-boats, as described on p. 189 of this Journal.

LOWESTOFT.—The NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION has built a large sailing Life-boat for Lowestoft, to replace the boat of the same class which had become unfit for further service. The new boat is 44 feet long, 12 feet wide, and pulls 14 oars. The Plimsoll Life-boat Fund Com- mittees at Liverpool and Derby accepted the new boat for their Fund, and decided that she should be called the Samuel Plimsoll. The Liverpool portion of the fund was contributed through the exer- tions of some working-men in that town, who wished to tender to Mr. PLIMSOLL a token of their respect, as a small ac- knowledgment of his great efforts to protect the lives of our sailors; and it occurred to them that the presenta- tion of a Life-boat would be especially agreeable to him, as it would be helping forward the great and national objects of the LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION, which had his heartiest sympathy. Mr. JAMES FITZPA- TRICK, of Grafton Street, Liverpool, acted as the zealous Hon. Secretary of that fund.

The one" at Derby was a Penny Subscrip- tion, which had previously been started by Mr. J. TAYLOR, of the Royal Hotel, for the purpose of launching a Life-boat in Mr. PLIMSOLL'S honour, for his untiring efforts on behalf of our sailors.

The boat was publicly launched at Lowestoft on the 21st December last, in the presence of Mr. PLIMSOLL and many of his friends, as well as a large number of the local residents. The presentation of the boat was made by Messrs. TAYLOR and FITZPATRICK, and the gift was suit- ably acknowledged by J. J. COLMAN, Esq., M.P., Chairman of the Local Branch, and by the Assistant-Inspector of Life-boats.

Mr. PLIMSOLL was also present, and ad- dressed those who had assembled on the occasion, much enthusiasm being dis- played by all present. The launch was quite successful, and the Life-boat, with Mr. and Mrs. PLIMSOLL on board, was then taken for a short cruise and after- wards towed into the harbour.

HOLYHEAD.— This Life-boat Establish- ment has recently been thoroughly reno- vated by the Institution, a new 37-feet 12-oared Life-boat having been sent there, for which a handsome house has been erected.

Mr. JOSHUA FIELDEN, M.P., and his bro- thers, Messrs. SAMUEL and JOHN FIELDEN, having presented to the Institution the cost and the endowment of a Life-boat Establishment, in memory of their uncle, the late Mr. THOMAS FIELDEN, M.P., the well-known philanthropist, after whom the boat is named, the gift, with their approval, was appropriated to the Holy- head Life-boat Station.

CEMAES, ANGLESEY. — The Institution has also forwarded a new Life-boat to Cemaes, on the coast of Anglesey, in lieu of the Life-boat on that Station, which was becoming unfit for further service.

The new boat is 30 feet long, 8 feet wide, and rows 8 oars double-banked. Its ex- pense was defrayed by the late GEORGE HEGINBOTTOM, Esq., of Ashton-under-Lyne and Southport; and at his desire the boat is named the Ashtonian, in honour of the birthplace of the donor. The public nam- ing and launch of the Life-boat at its Station was successfully accomplished on the 29th August, 1876.

CHAPEL, LINCOLNSHIRE.—This Life-boat Establishment has recently been tho- roughly renovated by the Institution, the whole expense of the same having been defrayed by Miss LANDSEER, sister of the late Sir EDWIN LANDSEER, E.A., in memory of that distinguished artist. In accordance with her desire the new boat is named the Land-seer. It is one of the 30-feet 8- oared class, and is provided with a trans- porting-carriage. It gave every satisfac- tion to the crew when it was tried at its station by the Second Assistant-Inspector of Life-boats.
